Agree with Michael – Lundie Electrical. They installed a Solar Panel & storage system for us. Very professional, courteous – & tidy

Try Lundie Electrical of Nantwich- lundieelectrical.co.uk – very efficient

Wondered if anyone could recommend a good, reliable electrician please ? Thank you

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the ADAS committee for organising a ‘thank you’ evening for the volunteers that have helped with their events over the last year. It is a nice gesture and helping out is what brings the village together and makes Audlem such a special place. ADAS’s hard work has been rewarded by the recognition they have received from Britain in Bloom, a tremendous haul of awards as detailed in AOL on Wednesday morning.

Thanks again to ADAS and to the Lord Combermere for hosting it.

I am now using Glen Eldershaw. Telephone 07870 722525.
He fixed for me leaking toilets as well as fitting a brand new toilet.
He also replaced kitchen taps for one of my neighbours which was leaking and they hadn’t been able to get a plumber to deal with it for them.
I am happy to recommend him.

Sincere congratulations to all the recipients of Gold awards etc – ADAS, Audlem in Bloom Team, the Methodist church, the cemetry, St James primary school.
Aren't we residents lucky people to be living in such a thriving village where so many individuals make such a contribution to the public good?
Very many thanks to all thse who have contributed to achieve these awards.

News travels far and fast! My sister-in-law in Sussex heard that there was a pony covered in poppies in the village/at the church on Remembrance Sunday. Can anyone share a picture of this?
.

Once again, Audlem’s showing the rest of the North West how it’s done — in full bloom and full glory! Congratulations to ADAS for keeping the gold shining and earning the Pride of Cheshire East Award. We always knew Audlem was a bit special… now it’s official (again)!

Thank you so much for publishing Ann Draper's Remembrance Day Reflection – so moving and thought provoking

As we are now well into our dark nights could I ask all dog walkers to wear something reflective or distinguishable. Many walkers seem to be wearing dark clothing and with these dark lanes it is near impossible for car drivers to see you. Please bear this in mind when taking your dog for a walk. Remember you can see us but we can’t see you. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a local plumber?
I carefully saved Ian's tel number off AOL some time ago for such an occasion but unfortunately he has left the area.

Hi Paula

We’ve always used Chris Fennell, Market Drayton, 01630 655965 for appliances repairs before, he’s very good.

In reply to John Williams query, the white staining is just outside our property.

Difficult to know what it is and no idea who is responsible, but it has left a mess

I have reported it to streetscape Cheshire east.

Who knows, they may clean it up !

I highly recommend Home Aids Crewe 01270 213073.

Hi
I have a Miele washing machine which has stopped working. It won’t switch on at all. The fuse is ok so my skills are all used up!! Anyone have any recommendations for a local person who I could call please? Thanks

Does anyone know what the white staining on the road and pavement about 20 m Audlem side of junction with Broadways is? And who/what caused it?

Thanks Richard for the old pix of Audlem. Very nostalgic indeed. It must be nice for Judy to see Williams' shop there standing proud bedecked with sunshades. Does anyone have any idea of the date – 1930's maybe?

Hi
Please be careful outside Charlie’s Dog Cafe in Nantwich. A young Eastern European lady followed me back to my car and was asking about my dog.

She then said she was looking for a job and was from Crewe. Asking for money for her sick little brother. When I said I didn’t have any cash she offered to walk me to a cash point. What started out as a nice conversation became sinister in a few minutes. Just be careful outside there.

No apology for yet another report about totally irresponsible dog owners. Enough is enough it’s time to name and shame those responsible. I’ve had enough of picking up your dogs droppings from around our bungalow, corner Hillary Drive and Heathfield and keeping the grasses area free of such. This is a walk way for children and parents on their way to and from school. What possesses an owner to walk a dog and then leave the mess for others to either walk through or clean up. Can we collectively attempt to excercise the notices placed on all the lampposts and see heavy fines enforced.

Great article this morning by Peter Oxley. Really well described and must have been exhilarating!
Thanks Peter.

Has anybody seen the new charges for garden waste bin collection ! That is a jump in price , no wonder Cheshire east is one of the richest councils , so watch out for piles of garden waste near you and farmers gates, no doubt !! Next year .

...."who spent most of the time on his back with his legs in the air..." writes Michele.
Well Michele; if you hadn't also put in your post that you'd "recently moved into the area" I'd swear you were recalling an evening in The Bridge circa 1972 when I'd just learned to drink as that's what, after the first pint, I spent most of the evening doing! Until of course, Mr Albert Hopkins said something like "I think you've had enough lad".
To be honest, at the time, I didn't think I had had enough but remembering the reception I recieved when I finally made it back home, he was probably quite correct.

Glad you enjoyed your lunch and welcome to Audlem.

We have recently moved into the area and thought we would pop into the Bridge this week for some lunch. Just wanted to say what a cracking pub. Lunch was very good and very reasonable. We ended up staying longer as the locals were such good fun. We had a great afternoon and my husband fell in love with Stan the dog who spent most the time on his back with his legs in the air. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Very interesting post by Adrian today, i have always regarded ivy as a great benefactor to our wildlife, not least the bees and butterflies, as it`s their last feed of the season.

Many thanks on Twit Ashley my comment on him are not in anyway meant to offend him or anyone who is related to him ,I was just fascinated with the charm and nostalgia I suppose ,on Audlem’s lost character’s of the past Such a rich heritage, he is probably one of many who have faded into history Moley Hobson! the mole catcher is another famous Audlem character who was mentioned to me who I had never heard of……fascinating
